3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft. A hazy dark golden beer with a lazing orangey head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel as well as a lighter note of citrusy hops. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of grass and grapefruit from the hops, leading to a dry bitter and grassy finish.

This was actually suprisingly good. Most of their stuff ranges from good to mediocre, but this I really enjoyed. The nose has big fruity hop aromas, lots of citrus and an actual malt presence. Suprisingly bitter in the finish. Tasty and refreshing.

3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This draft brew from the Oregon Brewers festival poured a small sized head of frothy medium to large sized white colored bubbles that were and left behind a transparent typically carbonated light orange brown colored body and a fair lacing. The aroma was hoppy and mild floral. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish with a strong mild vinous hop aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of piney hops. A decent one that I would consider buying again.
